So many people believed that President Jonathan can never lose the presidential election held in the country on march 28. The first reason is that he is the sitting president and secondly he had every resources available at his disposal both in human and in term of financing his campaign. unfortunately the president lost the election with a wide number of votes to the opposition candidate.
Many people also thought that President Goodluck would have easy win in the presidential election the way his foot soldiers (Aides) were marching everywhere like someone who really are working for the victory of their principal but in reality they all contributed to his political downfall.
However, Naij.com has compiled this list of Jonathan’s aides who were partly responsible for his loss.
See their names below after the cut.........

However, Naij.com has compiled this list of Jonathan’s aides who were partly responsible for his loss.
See their names below after the cut.........
1. Dr. Doyin Okupe: The administration’s attack
dog was a disaster. His contributions to Jonathan’s loss will take a
whole book to write down. He courted many enemies for the president
rather than friends. Okupe’s temperament and inability to soak in
criticisms were his greatest undoing. President Jonathan would have long
wielded the big stick on the Ogun State born medical practitioner
turned politician. His childish rants on twitter, uncivilised arguements
with opposition leaders on television and insult-filled press
statements were a public relations disaster for President Jonathan.
2. Professor Ahmed Rufai Alkali: How do you employ a political liability as your political adviser? That was the question on the lips of political observers after Prof. Alkali resumed office as the political adviser to Jonathan some years back. Alkali has never won an election in his political life. He has only had appointments from government and has relied heavily on propaganda in staying on course in the political sphere. Alkali no doubt contributed to the failure of Jonathan at the polls because he wasn’t effective in his role, he lacks the political sagacity to mobilise people and failed woefully to galvanise support for the president.
3. Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd):
Dasuki is one aide anyone should not pray to have. As the National
Security Adviser, he was a a ticking time bomb. As an aide to the
president, he was more of a curse than a blessing. A rabble rouser, the
Sokoto-born prince did more harm to Jonathan’s campaign than good. His
careless statements, security blunders and silence on major national
issues bordering on security was to say the least damaging to the
president’s image.
4. Kingsley Kuku:
Kuku who started on a good note in his position, was at some point
carried away. He joined the infamous gang of Jonathan’s political ‘mercenaries’ whose brief seemed to be “Defend the president at all cost whether right or wrong”.
His role in the Ekiti elections also dented his soaring image and that
of his boss. He also went on a talking spree that made him goof
severally while trying to justify the government’s failures. He was
criss-crossing round the world telling all that cares that President
Jonathan was the best thing to happen to Nigeria while the gale of
unmitigated disasters at home continued unabated. Kuku is one man the
president should have called to order long before he lost it completely.
5. Reno Omokri: Nigeria’s social media community will never forget Pastor Reno Omokri. From the Wendell Simillin saga to his retweet or favourite series to his dramatic demotion towards the end of the Jonathan’s administration, Omokri was a combination of cluelessness and incompetence. Why he left the pulpit for politics is not yet clear, but Reno should have stayed back. His contributions to Jonathan’s loss are enormous, gigiantic and un-quantifiable. He turned a vibrant youth population in the new media against the president through his unnecessary tweets and black propaganda which backfired at the end.
